Gone are the days when we had to wait for the fashion magazine weeklies to nourish, enrich and update our sense of fashion.
We don’t have to ‘WAIT’ for a trend to appear. Trends come and go before most people realize it was there. Thanks to social media, the evolving youth culture, and the celebrities showing off their latest outfits, we have enough fashion content to be bombarded with.
But we can spot and capture fashion trends that are more timeless than others. So, what are some current fashions trends? I can help you in that case.
- Bold Colors
Bold colors on your sleeves, sunglasses, and shoes have been trending for some time now. If you are following some of the latest fashion photoshoots, bold colors in dresses and other body wear are common in most of them.
A bold and bright version of some popular colors is common in different dresses. For example, neon greens, hot pink, and electric blue colors have been making a bold statement in clothes since mid-2022. Bright and bold green and lemon yellow in hoodies, shoes, and track pants are statement-making parts of the newest fashion trends.
- Go Retro
No matter how far the world moves forward, it always looks back to the 80s and 90s. You can look around if you find it unbelievable. Youngsters also prefer the retro styles of motorbikes and cars over the modern look. Retro and neo-retro styles are significant parts of the latest fashion trends.
Oversized jackets, chunky sneakers, and high-waisted jeans are becoming more popular in recent months. Many modern dresses are getting a retro and neo-retro touch in them. Well, the 80s and 90 were always great times for inspiration.
- Eco-Friendly Fashion Trends
Yes, you read it right. Fashion is eco-friendly now. Many brands are using recycled materials to make new fashion items ( including shoes, clothes, and other accessories). Many popular brands are bringing a hot new collection of the latest fashion items made from recycled materials and using more environmentally-conscious production methods. The use of organic and natural fibers like cotton, hemp, and linen is more prominent in the latest fashion clothes.
For example, you can take – Patagonia, H&M, 3 Pact, Retro, Girlfriend Collective, Beyond, American Recycled Clothing, Ecoalf, and Wolven.
- Gender-Neutral Fashion
Unisex clothes, accessories, and other fashion items are at the forefront of the current fashion trend. Anyone, regardless of their gender, can wear different fashionable clothes and accessories. If you are regularly active on social media, you must have seen Ranveer Singh dressing up in a frilled skirt.
But, most noticeably, Harry Styles has become the face of gender-neutral fashion. He has been slaying it on the cover of Vogue and on the red carpet wearing sequins, sheer shirts, and skirts from time to time. ClHu, Human Nation, IJJI, Kirrin Finch, and Tomboyx are some brands making noise in the gender-neutral clothing industry.
- Comfort Comes First!
Comfort-driven fashion outfits are timeless. Many fashion trends come and go. But sometimes, we cannot throw away that favorite loungewear or those sweatpants. If you are looking for the next occasion, dresses try your oversized clothes. No one is stopping you from wearing oversized suits, hoodies, or baggy pants.
- Street Fashion Trends
Street fashion trends have always had a great level of popularity among fashion freaks. 2022 had its fair share of street fashion innovations. Some of them would linger even during the first quarter of 2023.
Girls are often seen pairing cargo denim with a corset top. Athletic wears are more visible on the street after the pandemic. A hoodie under a blazer or a crop top with a blazer is also a thing of modern-day fashion.
- Blocking Colors
Clashing colors on your outfits is also among the latest fashion trends many fashion lovers are seen following. You can clash yellow and pink or orange with blue. Green and black also create some great color-blocking effects.
Even some of the most popular luxury fashion brands are designing such clothes. Laura Biagiotti, Hermes, Fendi, Tod’s, Molly Goddard, Stella McCartney, and Versace are surely keeping up with the trends.
- Goth Fashion Trends
Keep your inner darkness alive with the latest goth fashion trends. The dark and moody black sexy dresses coupled with victorian inspired designs have been in the trends for years. Thankfully, goth trends are never going out of style. Women dressing in moody and black colors with lace, ruffles, and corsets added to their designer clothes are keeping the goth vibe alive.
Punk and goth-inspired accessories like spikes, studs, and chains are also some elements of gothic outfits.
Runway Summer Fashion Trends of 2023
The summer fashion trends of 2023 are eclectic in the truest sense. Blurring the line between creative and rebellious fashion, this year is also a lot about inclusivity.
I will decode the summer trends to bring more attention to how tailoring, patterns, designs, and other elements are making all the difference.
From oversized blazers to dresses with thigh-high splits, this year’s runway fashion is easy to incorporate into our everyday lives. Here are a few glimpses.
Oversized Blazers
Be it Valentino or Chanel, this year’s summer has been all about oversized blazers. These blazers are fun, and you can pick a shade and cut according to the occasion you have to attend. However, this year the inclination has been toward soft pastels, and hence instead of those fuchsia and electric pinks, you can go for light plums, pinks, and lavender.
If you want the blazer to be less slouchy, you can always take the Victoria Beckham way. Keep it tailored and transform it into a mini dress with your cleavage doing all the talking.
Dresses With Thigh High Splits
This year fashion has taken the Tina Turner way with so much celebration of high splits in dresses. Bringing the bombshell vibe back, Prada and Givenchy got a galore of attention.
Prada created the style in glossy midis, while Givenchy used high slits to club with slip dresses, another biggest trend of the season.
You can ace this style for casual hangouts or evening parties. Don’t forget your high heels to step out in style.
Fringes Are In This Season
Alexander McQueen and Victoria Beckham bring another big trend this season with lots of frills. We have seen frills on the sleeves, along the hemline, or all over the dresses. Now, with fringe ruling the fashion scenario, we definitely witness a resurgence of cowboy fashion with a modern twist.
And the butter leather fringes on a dress by Versace looked the classiest. Fringes are versatile. So, you can get these elements on your favorite mini, midi, or maxi dresses.
If you want to keep your dresses fuss-free, you can get the frills on your cowboy boots or bags.
Denim Forever
Nothing can be sexier than season than Bella Hadid flaunting the buckled denim bra from Givenchy. The outfit is also utilitarian, with the mercury soaring high.
Also, you can go for a denim coordinated set or a denim off-shoulder top paired with chinos or jeans.
Some other prominent fashion trends this season are feminine sheer dresses, cutout dresses, mermaid-core outfits, and grunge.
